Wakefield / Taylors, Clare Valley (Australia) Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Jun 23, 2021

By Rich Cook

 I LOVE this wine.  There’s real elegance here, and it’s mainly textural.  Singing varietal fruit character shares the spotlight with notes of chocolate and fall baking spice, and they all ride a silky wave into a zesty finish that bursts with flavor.  You won’t tire of this, and a second bottle on hand would certainly be in order.  Decant for an hour or two before serving for full enjoyment – you won’t be sorry!  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
